Internet service providers and trade groups filed a 95-page brief on Thursday in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia laying out their arguments why the Federal Communications Commission’s new net neutrality rules that went into effect in June should be overturned.

It seems that the core argument among ISPs is that common carrier rules cannot be applied to broadband internet providers because they provide "information services" and not "telecommunication services."

Microsoft announced today that around 14 million people have installed Windows 10 on their computers. Windows 10 began rolling out in phases on Wednesday and the offer of a free upgrade from Windows 7 and 8 seems to be something that a lot of people decided was too good to pass up.

Yesterday Ubisoft announced that it would bring the Wii U exclusive zombie survival game ZombiU to other platforms as "Zombi" in the middle of August, but it left out some important details that might make some fans a bit irritated.

In a new blog post the company said that the game will have more melee weapons in the Xbox One, PC, and PS4 versions of the game. That's good news. The bad news? It won't have any multiplayer.

Riot Games has killed off a League of Legends hero that some people paid money for, though it seems that this death is part of a narrative being crafted as part of the game's lore - and the character will return at a later date. Those who had paid money to play as the pirate hero Gangplank and use his character skins were a little bit upset, with some calling for refunds.

Nvidia has issued a voluntary recall for some of its Nvidia Shield 8-inch tablets after learning that some units were posing a "fire hazard." The company said that some Nvidia Shield 8-inch tablets sold between July 2014 and July 2015 have batteries in them that are prone to overheating and can pose a fire hazard.

Polygon weaves a fascinating (but true) tale about Gaijin Entertainment and a rogue gameplay producer at the company who used multiple DMCA take-downs to hold the channel of Russia's most popular YouTube personality hostage.

In a recent conversation with GameSpot, Ubisoft's Marc-Alexis Cote rebuffed claims that the company was somehow pressured into including a female protagonist in its latest AC title, Assassin's Creed Syndicate. Creative director Marc-Alexis Cote said Evie Frye, one of the games two playable characters, is not an effort to appease critics.

It looks like a game that was once a Wii U exclusive is finally getting released to a wider audience, and getting a slight name change to reflect its non-exclusivity to the Wii U. The Ubisoft-published Wii U game ZombiU has been rebranded as Zombi so it can be released on Xbox One, PS4 and PC on August 18.

The zombie apocalypse survival game that features "permadeath" will be getting a few upgrades on current-generation platforms including "upgraded graphics" and "refined gameplay."

According to a National Journal report, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) received over 2,000 complaints in the first month the new net neutrality rules went into effect.

The court declined that request.

Capcom has finally taken notice of a fan-created Resident Evil 2 remake and is now asking the community at large what they think about it. Normally when a company sees a fan remake it does one of two things: it files a copyright claim against them and gets it shut down; or it simply ignores it.

Capcom is showing that it is at least willing to take a different approach towards these types of things.
